Columbia student suspended over interview cheating tool raises $5.3M to ‘cheat on everything’
On Sunday, the 21 -year -old Chungin’s “Roy” announced that he had raised $ 5.3 million of seed financing from Ventures and Susa Ventures to start it, Cluely, who offers Amnesty International tool “to deceive everything.”
The startup company was born after it was published in the X viral thread that was suspended by the University of Colombia after he and his founder developed a functional interview tool for software engineers.
This tool, originally called the interview, is now part of its headquarters that is based in San Francisco. It provides its users with the opportunity to “cheat” things such as exams, sales calls and work interviews thanks to a hidden window inside the browser that cannot be seen by the interview or a test gun.
Cluely published a statement comparing itself with inventions such as the calculator and Sleftcheck, which originally mocked “cheating”.
Cluely also posted a video produced as a researcher, but in accordance, Lee is released using a hidden an artificial intelligence assistant (to no avail) lying to a woman about his age, and even his knowledge of art, at a date in a luxury restaurant:
While some praised the video to attract the attention of people, others mocked this as reminding us of the Black Mirror TV program:
Lee told Cluley, Techcrunch that the artificial intelligence fraud tool exceeded $ 3 million in ARR earlier this month.
Another co -founder for the start of operation is another former student in Colombia, Nil Shanamogham, 21, Nile Nile Shansmogham, and is the director of operations at Klooli. Shanewagham was also involved in disciplinary procedures in Colombia on the artificial intelligence tool. The student newspaper at the university reported last week that both founders had left Colombia. Colombia refused to comment, noting the laws of students’ privacy.
Cluely began as a developer to deceive Leetcode, a platform for the coding of some of them in software engineering circles – including Cluely founders, of course – are considered old and lost time.
He tells me that he was able to disable training with Amazon using an artificial intelligence fraud tool. Amazon refused to comment on the Techcrunch LEE case, but she said that her job candidates should admit that they will not use unauthorized tools during the interview.
Cluley is not the only controversial AI company that was launched this month. Earlier, a famous artificial intelligence researcher announced his start starting with the announced task of replacing all human workers everywhere, causing her Roha on his own on X.
